Pulsed charge technology gets lead-acid dancing to the neat

摘要

Anyone who has worked with or used lead-acid batteries knows the problem of sulfation. During discharge sulfuric acid in the electrolyte reacts with lead dioxide to form lead-sulphate. Under optimum operating conditions this would be absorbed into the electrolyte during recharge. Overtime the lead-sulphate crystalises on the negative electrode, which impedes charge acceptance until the battery becomes unusable.
